Nichole

I loved Knox and Emory as a couple but their story arc was awful. The time jumps did not work for me and it all wrapped up too easily at the end (more than expected in a romance book).

This should have been a 5 star read for me but a trope I absolutely hate happened so I had to lower my rating to 4 stars. I love this word and how the series is set up with individual couples coming together but also the main overarching story unfolding. I'm super excited to read Thorne's story next.

This was unfortunately not the book for me. It still had the Meghan Quinn humor that I love but these characters were not for me. I did love the Princess Diaries concept and loved all the support Lily got as she figured out her life but her love story just did not work for me. I found Keller more annoying than anything else most of the time.

If you have reading Faking with Benefits or Nanny for the Neighbors you have basically read this book too. Yes the characters are different and have different backstories but the romance progresses the same and there was nothing new for me. I'm very glad I starting with Faking with Benefits because I loved that book but have been severely disappointed in her other books because she basically is using the same formula with nothing new in each one.

There was nothing wrong with this book per se and it likely is because this is a contemporary romance but I'm really tired of characters saying they don't want kids or marriage but then the epilogue doing a 180 with a proposal and/or pregnancy. I don't think it is asking that much to want books where characters are together and happy without tying the knot or having kids.

This trilogy was enjoyable. Nothing spectacular but it kept my attention and I read the whole thing in 3 days. This book however was a little too convenient and the lack of explanation for how the characters were dealing with what happened annoyed me. Their happily ever after didn't work for me because it wasn't explained enough.

This took me forever to get through and I was not a fan of either character or their story.

I loved this. The boys are so good to Nix. The writing is pretty simple and each character's voice isn't super well defined when the POV switches but I still devoured this book and immediately started book 2.

This ended up having a trope that I hate at the end but it actually made sense in this book unlike every other book it happens in. I was so surprised by how much I loved this book. The world was great and I loved all the twists and turns. The guys were great and I loved how they all fit together. I would love if we could have had a full series of these characters.

This was a 5 star book for me until the epilogue. The pregnancy did not fit these characters at all and I don't know why but it seems every book I'm picking up lately has a random pregnancy at the end that does not work for me.

This was super enjoyable and I love this new world and cannot wait to see which couples the rest of the series follows. The book was predictable but that is to be somewhat expected with a paranormal romance standalone book. My main gripe with this book was the pacing. It was 500+ pages but I think some of that could have been trimmed to keep high action and high spice without lowering the quality

I really enjoyed this book but absolutely hated the flashback scenes. It was a massive chore to read them and completely threw off the pacing for me. Not much happens in this book but the cliffhanger definitely sets up where the story is going next.

Oh look another book with a content warning in the middle of the book that spoils what is to come instead of being at the beginning where it belongs. Anyone who could be triggered would have read 90% of this book before finding out it is something they don't want to read. It makes no sense at all to me. Yet again, I'm forced out of the story and it ruined the last chapter for me.

I love content warnings and they are super important for books but they should not be in the middle of a book. It completely took me out of the story and essentially spoiled what was about to happen. It should have just been listed with the other triggers/content warnings at the beginning of the book.

I really enjoyed this book, but the content warning in the middle of the book took me out of the story and overall ruined the book for me.

I should have gone with my gut for this one. But I read multiple reviews where people said the bully was mostly from outside the harem. Unfortunately, that is not the case at all and I really should have DNFd this because I cannot do bully romance. I love J Bree's writing but I cannot do bullies.

I was really looking forward to this book but it fell flat. I really liked Nick and Evie as characters but the mob family aspect wasn't for me. And as with Hooked, the ending was so unrealistic for what these characters got up to. I also really didn't like all the poetry in this. I think if I was familiar with it, it may have worked for me. But I found myself skimming over though sections because I just found it annoying they were quoting these seemingly random poems to each other.

This was the best one so far. I actually cared about the story and I loved Sophie's story. I also loved Violet in this book. I feel like we got more of the other characters in this book than in previous books.

This book was far too short and was very much a setup book. The focus was on Death and Hanna's relationship with minimal plot outside your standard Beauty and the Beast storyline. The last 10 pages are when the plot came and I cannot wait to continue.

I really wanted to like this book. I loved the premise but Cameron was way too much of a jerk and not in your typical alpha male romance Hero. He went beyond that I didn't enjoy how he treated Ashley and Owen.

Not sure what I was expecting but It was pretty meh. The plot seemed to move slow and we didn't get much beyond Simon and Daphne.

This one was much better in terms of Granger acknowledged how crazed he sounded and acted. I appreciated that he at least realized he was acting unreasonably even though he continued to do it. I also liked the introduction of someone outside the small town as a love interest.

I loved the world with this one and the characters are good but I thought it was lacking plot for a lot of the book. The last 10% really picked up and got me excited for the story but before that I felt it was just dragging with nothing really happening.

I know these aren't real but I draw the line at taking away someone's choice to become pregnant. I don't care that they have become your whole world you don't do that.

The baby class was one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. I loved the banter between Lottie and Huxley.

Not as good as Gild but I am invested to see where this is going. This felt very much like a filler and set up book. Seems like Gleam is where we will get more story and plot.
